Fail

Goes without saying, its a personal opinion and YMMV.

My prior (and only) stay at W was in South Beach where I rented a suite so the expectations/experience were pretty high going in. Nice, trendy hotel but best suitable for short leisure stays at the best! How do I put this eloquently - Less suits, more jocks.

Pros - Nice, trendy lobby. Modern looking furniture.
Cons - Uncomfortable office chair (in room), uncomfortable bed, low lighting in room, lobby music, internet charge on corporate bookings, power point locations in the room.
Also, W Times Sq is going through facade maintenance from 9am-5pm for an indefinite period.

My room was on 19th floor but view was an eye-sore and no sunlight in south facing room. As for the lobby, it looked pretty lively but techno music isn't quite my choice after a 12hr work day. This definitely is not the place for M-F stays. I am going back to Marriott Marquis next week.

PS - Bliss bath products are overrated.
